How to understand romantic feelings

I did not know whether to make another thread so i am continuing from here.

We have been talking since two days, and he asked me whether i can guarantee that i won't just dump him in a day or two. And that he is almost a decade older than me, and is doing poorly financially too, (which is not a problem for me)
I said i cannot guarantee anything about the future. But i am scared of other people's judgement, mainly my parents. I told him that i wanted some time to think it over.

So that is that. I have been very anxious since yesterday and my ocd has been flaring up. I have social anxiety already and being judged by other people bc of my choice of a partner scares me. But other than that i don't really care that he is much older. I just wanted to share this because my heart has been pounding non stop since yesterday and i feel like i cannot breathe.
